New Jersey is leading the electric vehicle (EV) transition, maintaining strong momentum even as federal policies fluctuate. At the heart of this effort is NJ ZIP, a $90 million pilot program by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), offering vouchers up to $175,000 for medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles. This initiative reduces emissions in disproportionately impacted communities and fosters statewide economic opportunity.
Through NJ ZIP, companies like Envirotech Vehicles provide commercial EVs—vans, trucks, and buses—serving delivery fleets, school districts, and transportation services. EVs offer clear advantages: reduced fuel costs, minimal maintenance, quiet operation, and enhanced vehicle longevity. Innovations like regenerative braking and advanced batteries enable ranges up to 150 miles per charge, ideal for urban and regional operations.
Envirotech has already received significant orders under NJ ZIP and expanded its New Jersey service center to support growing demand. This facility now includes battery servicing and vehicle maintenance, expediting EV fleet support across the state.
New Jersey has also established aggressive electrification goals for its public fleet: 25% of light-duty vehicles by 2025 and 100% by 2035. NJ TRANSIT aims for 100% electric bus purchases by 2032. Envirotech supports these efforts with electric school and transit buses, such as the lightweight, recyclable “Bumble Bee EcoRange,” built from aluminum and high-strength steel.
The state’s strategic investments in EV infrastructure and incentives, coupled with partnerships with manufacturers like Envirotech, position New Jersey as a national leader in clean transportation.
